Mr. HOSTY. Definitely not.
Representative FORD. Of the people in the FBI in the Dallas area were
given any assignments?
Mr. HOSTY. That is correct.
Representative FORD. For the security of the President?
Mr. HOSTY. That is correct.
Mr. McCLOY. Mr. Hosty, let me ask you this: Suppose you had known that
that motorcade was going to go past the School Book Depository, do you
think your action would have been any different?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir; it wouldn't have been any different.
Mr. McCLOY. Even though you knew that he was located there?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
Mr. McCLOY. And that he was a defector?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
The CHAIRMAN. Senator.
Senator COOPER. Have you received any evidence that any person other
than Lee Oswald was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir; I have no knowledge of anyone else.
Senator COOPER. Did you know anything about the attempt on General
Walker's life?
Mr. HOSTY. I have read in the newspapers about the attempt on General
Walker's life; yes.
Senator COOPER. Your office was not connected with an investigation of
that?
Mr. HOSTY. No; this was not a matter under the jurisdiction of the FBI.
It was under the jurisdiction of the Dallas Police Department.
The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Hosty, you told us what your instructions were
concerning dangerous persons as of the 22d of November. Have they been
changed?
Mr. HOSTY. I think Mr. Belmont will bring that up tomorrow if it be all
right. Yes; they have been.
The CHAIRMAN. You will be sure to ask him that to get that from him.
Are there any other questions, gentlemen?
Mr. McCLOY. Mr. Hosty, are you still engaged in any aspects of the
assassination?
Mr. HOSTY. Oh, yes. I am still involved in the investigation of it,
what investigation we still have.
Mr. McCLOY. And any odds and ends that come up?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
Mr. McCLOY. You are still in the process of investigating?
Mr. HOSTY. Yes, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. I would like to ask Professor Redlich, did you find
anything in the deposition of lieutenant, what was his name?
Mr. REDLICH. Revill.
The CHAIRMAN. Revill, on this subject?
Mr. REDLICH. No, sir. Lieutenant Revill was deposed on Tuesday, March
31, by Mr. Hubert of the Commission's staff.
The CHAIRMAN. What date?
Mr. REDLICH. March 31, 1964. The deposition consisted almost entirely
of questions relating to Mr. Revill's responsibilities in connection
with the investigation of the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, and during
the course of that interrogation there is nothing at all on the matter
which was the subject of Commission Exhibit No. 709.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there any reference in his testimony to his going up
the stairs with Agent Hosty on the 22d of November?
Mr. REDLICH. No, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. Nothing concerning that particular time in the police
station?
Mr. REDLICH. No; there was not.
The CHAIRMAN. Very well. That is all.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chief Justice, I answered Mr. McCloy's question in
error about Mr. Truly. Mr. Belin tells me that he examined the FBI
statement, and there is a statement by Mr. Truly in regard to two
rifles in which he explains it, as he says, innocently. Mr. Belin,
would you tell for the record what that is?
Mr. BELIN. I would almost rather wait until tomorrow morning to have
the FBI reports before the Commission, if I can. I think it is a friend
brought a rifle.
The CHAIRMAN. It would be better to have the report itself here.
Mr. BELIN. I will have that for the Commission tomorrow morning, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. I think, Mr. Hosty, you have probably answered this
question which is very closely related to that which Senator Cooper
asked you. You testified that you were continuing your investigation of
various aspects of this case. You have not thus far at least unearthed
anything which could be called in the nature of a conspiracy?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. In connection with this assassination?
Mr. HOSTY. You mean involving someone else?
Mr. McCLOY. Someone else?
Mr. HOSTY. No.
